Celebrity author! Edward Burns, A KID FROM MARLBORO ROAD

Actor, director, and writer Edward Burns joins Zibby to discuss A KID FROM MARLBORO ROAD, a poignant, bittersweet coming-of-age story set in the summer of 1980 about a boy on the cusp of adolescence navigating his parents’ troubled marriage, his mother’s depression, and the need to assert his independence while remaining close to her. Edward reveals that the story was inspired by his childhood memories, which he reminisced about with his mom during the pandemic, and then delves into the novel's themes of nostalgia, family structures, and evolving relationships. Finally, he talks about his work in independent filmmaking and shares his best advice for aspiring writers.
